RIDGEFIELD -- The Planning and Zoning Commission is expected to discuss and vote on a proposal by the Society of St. Pius X to build a small school building on its property on Tackora Trail when it meets Tuesday at the Town Hall annex on Prospect Street.

At its meeting in December, the commission asked Town Planner Betty Brosius to draw up a draft resolution approving the project. It will discuss and take action on that draft resolution.

The society is a conservation Roman Catholic organization that has questioned many of the church reforms of the past 40 years.

It also ready has a chapel and other buildings on its property. It wants to add a 7,4000-square-foot school building, which will be called the Padre Pio School.
